| 7144 single solenoid adapter base |
The 7144 is equipped with a flow control to provide an adjustable speed for rudder positioning. It also provides a flow control for an auto-fill system. This small flow control can be adjusted to provide a very small volume of oil to be delivered to the header tank. The header tank, in turn, will require an overflow line to the main tank. The basic purpose for the adapter base is to provide control over the rudder in either direction. Its maximum flow capacity is six gallons per minute, and it can be equipped with either an open or a closed center solenoid valve.
If more than one valve is used with a single system, a closed center solenoid valve is required on both. It is also recommended to have volume compensated pumps in the steering gear system to reduce heat and for better economy. |
